So, you have tested that it isn't working correctly for you ? My own bootscript has a comment that ignore_nice was for 2.6.12 possibly through to 2.6.15 (in other words, definitely not required for 2.6.16). For me (on an amd x86_64) ondemand works - if I untar the gcc sources and check /proc/cpuinfo from another term, the speed jumps from 1000 MHz to 2000, stays there, briefly falls back to 1800 after untarring finishes, then drops to 1000 again shortly afterwards. > >Wild guess - the Knoppix kernel is quite a bit older than the LFS > >kernel ? > > I should have mentioned this in my original post: I'm using Knoppix 5.1.1 > released in Jan of this year > and the kernel is a 2.6 series (might be 2.6.19 but not sure - I'm in Windows > right now and can't check) > I'm guessing that the increased restrictions (limit acpi frequencies to what the bios returns) were probably in the 2.6.18 to 2.6.20 timeframe. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
